The siege of Medvėgalis was a brief siege of Medvėgalis, a Lithuanian fortress in Samogitia, in February 1329 by the Teutonic Order reinforced by many guest crusaders, including King John of Bohemia. The 18,000-strong Teutonic army captured four Lithuanian fortresses and besieged Medvėgalis. The fortress surrendered and as many as 6,000 locals were baptized in the Catholic rite. The campaign, which lasted a little more than a week, was cut short by a Polish attack on Prussia in the Polish–Teutonic War (1326–32). As soon as the Teutonic army returned to Prussia the Lithuanians returned to their pagan practices and beliefs.

  • L'assedio di Medvėgalis fu una breve operazione militare avvenuta nel febbraio del 1329 presso il forte Medvėgalis, una fortezza di collina lituana in Samogizia, per opera dell'ordine teutonico affiancato da altre truppe crociate, tra cui quelle guidate dal re Giovanni I di Boemia. I circa 18.000 cristiani espugnarono quattro fortezze lituane e tra esse Medvėgalis. La fortezza si arrese e ben 6.000 abitanti furono battezzati secondo il rito cattolico. La campagna, durata poco più di una settimana, fu interrotta da un attacco polacco alla Prussia nella guerra polacco-teutonica (1326-1332). Non appena l'esercito teutonico tornò in Prussia, i lituani riabbracciarono il credo pagano. (it)
